Concrete is one of the most widely & continuously using as a construction material in the world wide in which cement and aggregate
are the most vital constituents.
• Rubber recycling is most problematic source of waste . This material is ecologically because their large production, cheap availability,
bulk & its non biodegradable nature.
• Over the two decades , researchers have underscored to use waste tyre rubber in concrete & where remarked that recycling of waste
tyre rubber is most viable in concrete as a partial replacement to the coarse aggregate .
Partial replacing the coarse aggregates of concrete with recycled waste tyre aggregate can improve the qualities such as low unit
weight , high resistance to abrasion , durability , absorbing the shocks & vibration, high ductility etc.
The purpose of this study is to see the behavior of concrete with different proportion of rubber waste .
For that concrete mixed with rubber waste on 5% , 10% & 15% to determine the hardened strength properties for 7 days
& 28 days
A CHANDAN(2017) :
In his paper he studied the feasibility of using waste tyres in the form of chips with the different sizes of concrete to improve
the strength as well as protecting the environment. In his study , he outline the use of rubberized concrete in structural and non-
structural members and show how it is suitable for the concrete, its uses, barriers and benefits to future study .In his experiment ,
he replaced the coarse aggregate with rubber by 5%,10% &15% in conventional concrete. Hence he concluded that it can be used
in non-load bearing members i.e. light weight concrete walls, other light architectural units. This study also showed that it is
possible to use recycled rubber tyre aggregates in concrete constructions as partial replacement to mineral coarse aggregates.
construction , it is safety to the environment & it also reduce the soil pollution .

structural and non-structural members and show how it is suitable for the concrete, its uses, barriers and benefits to
future study. He concluded the reduction of compressive & tensile strength can be increased by adding some super
plasticizers & industrial wastes as partial replacement of cement will definitely increase the strength of waste tyre rubber
modified concrete .
Mix Design and Material
Mix Proportion
METHODOLOGY
Five different mixes consists of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% replacement of coarse
aggregate with shoes rubber are tested according to the workability aspect,
compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity and density. Three cubes sample of 100
x 100 x100 mm size are prepared for each mix design. A total of 30 concrete samples
were tested to be analyzed. All the specimens are then cured in water for 7 days and 28
days before testing. For each mix design, three samples were tested and the average
readings were recorded.
Mix Design and Material
The raw materials used for concrete mix are cement, coarse aggregate, natural fine
aggregate, tap water at room temperature, and shoes rubber. Type of cement used is
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) according to the British Standard BS 12/1996. The
grading of fine (size <5mm) and coarse (size >5mm) aggregates are generally required
to be within the limits specified in BS 882: 1992.
Grading, or particle size distribution, is an important feature of aggregate and is
determined by a sieve analysis. Natural sand with a maximum size of 4.75 mm was
used as fine aggregates. Crushed stone with a maximum size of 10mm was used as
coarse aggregate.
Mix Proportion
Concrete mix design was prepared following the DOE method to achieve target mean
strength 30 MPa. The water cement ratio is 0.55. There were five types of mix
considered and one mixture without rubber act as control mixture. The other four
concrete mixes were made by replacing the coarse aggregates with 5%, 10%, 15%, and
20% of chipped shoes rubber by weight. For each chipped rubber percentage, three
batches of concrete were prepared and tested to get the average reading. The details
mixture proportions are given in Table 3.2.
